Rising from the depths of impoverishment and disgrace,
my soul flung tumultously through lifes strongest waves.
Storms, violently pulling my soul toward depression's tide,
tempting to drown my spirit in abuse and its' pain,
led my hand to pen more than one million tear filled words.
Calming the seas and what lies beneath in darkest caves,
finding freedom from the storm clouds darkening my skies,
answers were sought with each stroke taken toward brilliant shores.
Beauty, made to flow from wells of desparation's hold,
lit the trail before wounded eyes peering through their tears.
Love, a once frightening emotion with all its' reefs,
appeared with the softness and grace of a dolphin's swim,
offering caresses in serenity's blanket
and bringing with it the healing balm of gentleness
as it pulled me from the mysteries within my mind.
Attempting to share the healing path I have taken,
my language seeks to find others buried,
to open the casket entombing all of their fears
and longs to embrace their beings with experience
while showing them shores of safety and sweetest release.
